Where do you get your security patches from?

SBing · 06-16-2004, 05:08 AM

A little bit of a silly question when links are provided in the slackware-security email but their servers are still saturated - and none of the mirrors seem to have it in /ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-9.1/patches/packages/

I'm looking for kernel-ide-2.4.26-i486-3.tgz, but my usual mirror, ftp.heanet.ie
still doesn't have it.

Is there a place where patches are mirrored with a reasonable degree of speed?

Cheers

Steve

There is a list of mirror at http://www.slackware.com/getslack/

example : http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/s...e-9.1/patches/

Sure, I already use these, but my only problem with them is that they are particularly slow,

Patches don't propagate to them particularly quickly, I was hoping there was a mirror that was updated more often :(
